If you're a member, you get access to our private Facebook group, where we share pertinent information and remind you of upcoming events, and there are also regular conversations about teaching. If you have a question, or if you have expertise in a certain area, you can help out another teacher! It's a great community, and a really fun resource to have as an APTA member. If you're not yet a member, it's about time to become one and take advantage of all our amazing resources!
There are a number of scholarships available to APTA members! It's a great reason to get involved, and new members have found that, though scholarships may have been the initial draw, they have found a wealth of resources in being part of APTA. ![]()

If you have any questions, email us or send a message! We're always happy to help.
